" Everyone who comes to this site answers a series of psychological questions. The questions are designed to be as insulated from knowledge bias as possible, meaning that results shouldn't be dependent to a significant degree on how knowledgeable one is on certain subjects.

There are 8 questions with 8 possible answers each. The odds of someone answering all the questions in exactly the same way as you is 1 in 16,777,216, and the person who does so is more likely than any other to be your soulmate. When there is a match, you will be notified and given a chance to message each other. "

nuGBS aside this is an interesting concept. Seems like millions of people need to fill it out for it to start even becoming remotely effective, which is a pretty big hurdle to climb.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
I don't need someone like me I have an elastic nose and the bathroom mirror I get more butterfly kisses I can handle!

RIP Screamy You were too good for this world.
Alright lets give it a try...


Question one

AT A PARTY YOU...
Quite often find yourself the center of attention
Get to know people and listen to their stories
Entertain others with stories, jokes, tricks, song, dance
Have a really good time no matter what
Try to make useful connections, network, exchange phone numbers
Make a good impression, show up looking good, be polite and friendly
As far as possible, stick to people you know and get along with
Relax and observe, comfortable sitting on the couch without company


Welp, I'm out.

Their FAQ is a little dodgy as far as the math goes. Statistically you don't need that many people to take the test to get at least one match, but even having billions of users take it is no guarantee that you in particular get matched with someone. They also seem to be working on the assumption that each answer is equally likely.

Probably the best use of this site is for catfishing: tell your prospective mark about the site, get them to take it in front of you, remember their answers then answer the same way on your own a month or two down the line. :getin:

Yeah where's the one where you drink a liter of whiskey and take a poo poo on the host's bed?

DO NOT take the 8^8 test while drunk, stoned, sleep-deprived, or in an extreme emotional state. The results may not reflect your true self and you could end up matched with someone who is like you when you are wasted.

DO NOT take the 8^8 test while distracted, i.e. while having a conversation, watching a movie, driving, or doing anything that requires some attention.

DO NOT overthink your answers. Choose whatever feels right instinctively, as opposed to what makes more sense.

DO NOT let other people influence your choices. If you have someone with you right now, ask them to refrain from speaking for the duration of the test, or better yet, provide you with privacy until you are done.

gently caress you assholes, what if being a drunk, stoned, distracted overthinker is who I am??? t:mad:

Am I the only one that got OP's mom? Or is she really desperate enough to take the test that many times?

If someone was exactly like me in the ways that are okay to be exactly like me and probably good for a relationship with me, like an intense desire to be left alone inside my head most of the time, and not in the bad ways, like being a broken fat piece of loving human being poo poo who can barely communicate except through vaguely hostile imperative statements, grunts, and chortles, then that's probably really good too. I hope my soul mate knows this ahead of time.

It said not to do it drunk, but I'm drunk as poo poo. I guess I will meet someone compatible with me when I'm drunk as poo poo. It's probably for the best because generally if I'm sober I'm at work and would not see them anyway.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.
the whole thing is a sham

it turns out....that person was you all along
